Ever in my prayers

"Please tell me?" Lisa whined.

"Don't worry but I just ask you to take care of your baby, your emphasis also dominates its health so, please take care of yourself and the baby too," the doctor said, Lisa smelled a feeling of relief and got up from the bed.

She out of the room, Louis saw her weak presence and hurriedly made to her.

"Are you alright?" he asked out of concern.

"It's alright, the doctor said that it's normal to have pain in these months," she lied about the trouble she was going through but her act messed up it all because she couldn't show it off to Louis.

He believed those utterances of her and hugged her gently.

"I am so satisfied that you are good," he enunciated.

"Let's go," she said.

Louis didn't expect her to act that way because she must be sad and hurt although he didn't want that nevertheless, her behaviour was taking him by amazement.

But before she put up another activity that she was fine he held her hand and asked her out.

"Lisa?"

She turned to him but the moment he saw a smile on her face, he let go of her hand.

"hm?"

Glancing at his face, Lisa read his mind and slowly made steps in his direction.

"I'm fine, don't worry. I know you are worried about my act but I don't want to cry. I'm holding my tears, my pain in my heart. I want to cry but her words don't let me. I am pretending to accept the reality but on the flip side, I want to fight for my mother's life. And I know that if I let my feelings, emotions come out of my heart then our baby would be hurt, and both of us don't want to emerge. It's all fine she'll always be in my prayers. Alright, so don't worry about me," she explained, trying hard to hold her tears.

"But you can cry with me, you can let go of your pain in front of me. You don't have to put an act when you are with me. I can see that you are hurt and it is hard for you but I'm your husband, who has the right to know his better half worries," he muttered and gently stroked her hair.

"I know that but for my baby, I want to dwell soothing and act accordingly. I gonna miss her a lot," she said and held his hand to move further.

"Even in times like this, she is trying to fake her tears for her baby. I am proud to get a daughter-in-law like her. I wish you happiness, my daughter. What if your mom made her journey to heaven, you still have me," his mother whispered with tears in her eyes.

"Postmortem is done, now you take the body for the final ceremony," the doctor muttered to them.

Nodding at his saying, Lisa thanked the doctor.

Lisa went inside for her last meeting with her, that times she wasn't begging for her life but went like a proud and strong daughter.

Pecking her forehead, "Have a good journey to heaven, my angel. I will miss you. Love you, " Lisa spoke and let the staff boys take her body for the cremation.

"Goodbye," she mumbled.

At funeral,

Everyone was feeling sorry for Lisa but she nodded and put on a smile on her face.

All the people out of there put flowers on her burial and wished her for a safer journey to heaven. It made her smile in tears, she mopped her tears but was enough to catch his attention.

Putting a hand around her shoulder, he passed a smile to her.

"My wife is so strong, I was a fool back then that I didn't notice your this side. I am thankful to God for having you in my life," he spoke and rubbed her arm gently, assuring that she had him even if the world decide to stand against her.

Whenever she had him by her side, she felt like she can withstand any situation in future and she was too proud to have him in her life.

She rested her head on his manly shoulder and both of them watched people praying for her mother.

"Now she must sound in relief that her daughter is fighting against her pain," Louis said, looked down to see in her eyes.

"I just wish the same,"

At Lisa's house

She was adoring everything designed skillfully by her mother. Looking after everything, she entered her room.

Walking to her closet, she opened it and checked everything but something caught her attention, a diary beneath her clothes. She took it and sat on the ground with her diary in her hands.

She unlocked the diary by turning pages to read her mother's view of seeing things.

Photo of her mom's and dad's marriage caught her compassion, she snickered at those lines which were written by her.

~I got him for the lifetime, my Mr precious ~

Her parents had loved marriage but as written by her, didn't stay.

Sometimes, when we force things to go according to us and try to change our fate or whatever is written down in our fate, then it gonna hurt us even more.

Turning the page,

~My first baby, my little, my daughter, we will love you forever ~

Picture of the time when she gave birth to Lisa, a memorable photo with her parents. But did not keep their words to be there with her to love her forever.

~My daughter is far away from me, but ever in my heart but I know that soon I will get my little back to me~

A picture of her daughter of times when Lisa was alone fighting the tough time against her stepmother. She had a hard time, standing up for her loved ones.

~My forever left me alone in this world, I will get you soon. I love you~

Picture of the person who promised her to stay with her in every ups and downs.

When her dad was killed by her stepmother, her mother knew about that back then but was unable to turn the table, she stayed silent to teach that lady a lifetime lesson.

~My little is going to get her love forever, her best friend, her healer, her lover~

Picture of her wedding with Louis. She fought for her love and finally proved that when love is true, no matter how hard people try to put it apart from each other but in the end, you will become each other forever.

~When it was my time to say goodbye to my little and this selfish world~

Picture of her suffering from her disease. Her mother faced every situation, every circumstance with courage but never utter a word of pain in front of her daughter. She won for staying up the brave mother for her.

"I promise you that your daughter will also stay strong for this baby girl. I will everything to protect my little from those wicked sights. I love you both. Stay with me till the end," Lisa whined and shut the diary, and cried out for her mother.

"I know that you are broken inside, I'm happy that you are letting of that pain. I love you, Lisa. I promise to hold your hand in every circumstance," Louis whispered under his breath, listening to her sobs from the outside, leaned over the door, he also cried out.

Diary in her hand, she stepped out of the room and unlocked the door after her. She made sure to grab all her mother's memorable remembering.

"Louis, Let's go," she asked him.

Nodding at her words, he got up from there and moved towards the front door and held her held tightly. Lisa looked at him with suspicion.

"Why are staring at me with doubtful eyes?" be asked, moving further.

"Out of the blue?" she mumbled.

"Why can't I hold my forever's hand?" he asked and smiled at her with cheerful expressions.

She hummed in response and climbed inside the car after locking the house.

Looking at the house, she smiled feebly but smiled at his sight in front of her.

"Louis?" she named him.

"Yeah?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, tell me what is it?"

"When our Princess will come into the world, can we shift into this house?" she let out and looked at him for his reaction.

He stopped the car midway and turned to face herself.

"It's alright, I understand," she whispered and looked outside the window.

"I also understand you and why after her birth, we can shift next month. I care for you the most so I won't disagree with your decision," he expressed and touched her cheeks.

"Thank you so much," she uttered.

He pecked her cheek and started the car.

"Thank you," she again muttered the same words to him.

"Why are saying that again?" Louis asked out of the confusion that was seen on his face.

"For being there in my life, I love you," she confessed.

"But this doesn't need a thank you. I love you and that's the reason I love to be in your life. Remember that and don't ever say thank you for this thing," he warned her for last time.

She agreed with him.

"I love you," she confessed.

"Love you too," and he stopped the car.
